Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 738: Rather Let the Fellow Daoist Die than the Poor Daoist

As soon as Lu Ci mentioned Fu Shihan, Su Wanxin’s smile immediately stiffened. Lu Ci noticed and asked with confusion, "What’s wrong?"

Su Wanxin shook her head: "It’s nothing."

"Did you guys have a fight?"

"..."

Su Wanxin silently took a sip of her drink and then nodded. Seeing this, Lu Ci laughed.

"It’s okay, just let him cool off on his own."

Fu Shihan is a real double-standard hypocrite.

When other people upset him and when Su Wanxin upsets him, the way he handles it is completely different.

No matter how big of a mess Su Wanxin makes, as long as he stares at her face for a while, he’ll definitely soften.

Lu Ci has seen this happen too many times and is used to it by now.

"I hope so." Su Wanxin forced a smile and said faintly, completely unsure in her heart.

She thought he would come tonight, but looking at the situation now, it seems she was overthinking.

Su Wanxin couldn’t talk too much with Lu Ci because soon other people showed up.

Su Yao arrived about half an hour later with Qi Ran and Su Yu Yan. Su Yu and Su Bai were also with them.

The arrival of these few undoubtedly marked another climax of the evening. Su Wanxin quickly walked over, looked at Su Yu and Su Bai, and smiled, "You guys really came?"

Su Yu nodded, then frowned: "Why have you lost more weight?"

Su Bai looked around, puzzled, "Hey, how come I don’t see that Mr. Fu?"

Su Wanxin: "..."

These two focused on some pretty peculiar points, almost overwhelming Su Wanxin.

"I haven’t lost weight; it’s just that my makeup is a little heavy today, you straight guys wouldn’t understand. As for Mr. Fu... he had to go on a business trip suddenly. If you really want to see him, should I buy you a plane ticket and send you over?"

Su Bai grimaced and declined: "Want to see him? Am I sick?"

To see him for what? To let him feed her?

Every time Su Bai thinks about Fu Shihan teasing him, he feels unbalanced. Not being able to talk about it to anyone makes him feel even more stifled!

Qi Ran and Su Yao also didn’t expect Fu Shihan to not show up today, but they didn’t think much of it, assuming there was some sudden issue at Fu Group that he had to attend to.

And they didn’t have much time to ponder either because Lu Ci soon came over.

The moment Su Yao saw Lu Ci, she felt like she was on high alert. She sneakily glanced at the expressions of Qi Ran and Su Yu Yan, then thought...

Better her than me; I should run away.

As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, she immediately acted on it.

Su Yao pulled Su Wanxin aside, standing afar and watching Lu Ci struggling alone over there. If she said she didn’t feel guilty at all, it would be impossible.

But can guilt be eaten as food? Can it be sold for money?

Faced with cowardice and confronting difficulties, Su Yao decisively chose the former.

"I thought Fu Shihan would come tonight; I was planning to watch the excitement." Su Yao quietly complained, "He really knows how to pick his moments."

Su Wanxin smiled faintly, "What excitement is there to see about him."

"Dad definitely won’t have anything nice to say to him; I wanted to see him get scolded." Su Yao said earnestly, "I also wanted to see just how thick his skin is and what reaction he would give!"

"That really disappoints you then." Su Wanxin downed her glass of wine, and as a waiter passed by, she casually picked up another glass. "Yaoyao, I’m going to discuss some matters over there; you play here on your own."

"Okay, you go ahead."

Su Yao nodded letting her go, then sneakily looked towards where Lu Ci was, curious about what he was discussing with her parents.
